The coordinates given are for the car park and locals can point out the location of the tombs cut high into the rock face above the park. There is a steep trail up to one tomb accessed from the bridge across the stream by the car park, alternatively you can drive further up the road from the bridge to reach a small area where you can park and then walk 50 metres to the foot of the cliff where one of the tombs is located. The other tomb is above the tea stalls in the park and less easily accessible.
